From the day on, I have been seeing the blue sky and the big ocean from a far distance.
The countless souls emerging in the sky of Spira takes on their
looming figures, the nightmare of one thousand year has finally been
drawn to an end with dawn on its way----from the day we defeated Sin ,
to forever....
At this moment, the brilliantly-shining sky is boundlessly blue,
all within our sight are adorned with clear color of the sky. The
sloping and slanting warm sunshine has no longer been covered by the
immense mishaps and catastrophes.
The ocean gently blows its waves; the peaceful surface of the ocean
will never form a water wall as high as a mountain, to swallow the
whole city.
The only dream I had as a child has finally been realized. I
remember my father, a man who devoted his life for the people of Spira
, a man I can no longer meet again……. moreover, the time limit is for
ever.
Sin, after completely perished, has broken off the circle of
“deconstruction and regeneration”, And I , who was supposed to have
died after summoning the final Aeon, can now feel as excited to wait
for the victory moment just as the others. All of this, I am not
supposed to receive.
“This is a miracle” People all keep saying that. “ Summoner Yuna created the miracle and saved Spira.
However, the truth is not like that.
Not only myself, but the guardians who protected me all the time
along the way are fully aware of the fact that this is a necessary
outcome------at the time you came to consciousness for all of us, the
dream already forwarded in the direction of end.
If miracles do exist, the fate for us to meet should be one of
them. On the day I became a summoner, on the day you drifted to Besaid
island, my fate was changed, thoroughly.

Life is in and of itself a course of creativity. Everyone has to
realize his own source of creativity, with which creates his own life,
in a positive way.
Being loyal to your own feeling, doing what you want to do is the
source of vitality. Because what satisfies you most in life is not
money terms, but in term of letting yourself go for the pursuit of what
you genuinely want to do and being happy with it and doing the best you
can.
Everyone is also in search for his real " want", but the question is
that amid the circumstance of so-called reality whether we can still
hold close this brief of "want", whether we jump over the hindrance to
the "want" imposed by the reality. It depends upon whether we has
persistence and determination, whether we has the attachment loyal to
ourselves.
We all know, work is far more than only doing work. Those who can
either combine their interests with work or develop their interests out
of work are absolutely successful and happy people as well.

One week ago, I came back to my hometown, a place I visited 3 years before. Since I moved to live in the city when i was at such a young age, about 3 or 4, that the figures of the local people gradually became slurred in my mind, that almost all my good friends with whom I often play were from city, that whenever my father asked me to accompany with him and mother to visit the relatives there, I often felt reluctant to come back to this place where there were so many local people I didn't know. And it is also because I only came back there with such a low frequency that I even didn't remember the kids' name there, that an invisible wall between the kids there and me that prevents us from getting to know each other better was erected and I often found myself speechless whenever I tried to talk to them. " you are supposed to know them." my father often said this to me. " They are also very friendly, they all know you are my son, it is only you who don't know them".
"Really?" I doubted about it. Later, I walked along the stone-paved narrow road near a fishing pool. It is not a big pool, owned by a local people. Standing upon this road, you can see the fish in the clear water. At the end of the road, there is an old pine with exuberant green leaves near a small temple built on a massive rock. Dozens of birds are twittering on the twigs of the tree as if they are chorusing a beautiful song. Seen from the right of the temple, the seemingly endless cornfields extend to the other side of the steep mountain, under the clear blue sky and the brilliantly-shining sun. What a beautiful sight! Perhaps that is the so-call gentle peace of living. I still recall 3 year ago I took a snatch in the stone seat under the shadow of the old pine. "Well, things haven't changed", I said to myself.....
Shortly after a boy and a girl walked toward me....

This week will be my last week working in the store as a cashier. Well, looking back the past 3 bittersweet months, I think this job do offer me an opportunity to clearly see how people try to make a living in the cruel society and the essence of the so-called human nature. In all, the experience I gain from it is precious and significant. Probably you may come up with a question concerning the reasons to quit the job. To be frank, there are mainly one.
Firstly, when you feel unhappy to work, it is no longer worth staying there. Even since I was a child, my parents and my teachers taught me the importance of respecting others. I bear it in my mind all the time. So whenever I make friends or am on some other occasions where I need to converse with someone, I often demand myself to act and behave in a polite manner. With it, I invariably win the respect from others, my friends and relatives. I also think to respect others is to respect yourself , which is the basic principle of how to be a good man and how to get along with others. However, in the job I thoroughly learned that this principle doesn't apply to everyone, especially to those above you. More often than not, you can't receive the respect that you should have get from them even though you do try your best to do far beyond what a freshman can do. Worse still, when something does go wrong , it is too easy to blame the freshman despite the fact that he has nothing to do with the fault. But the most unbearable part is that they act like they standing on a higher step where they can look down on you and you have no right to challenge them when a conflicting idea erupted between us. Ok, let me tell you my personal story. The girl I worked with is really a mean girl. You can't tell that she has a bad personality only by working with her for a few days. Because , with her beaming simile on her face all days to the customers, at first I was really taken in to believe she was nice girl. Until at that time she made criticism on my way to serve customers and I bravely answered back, I truly got to know the true side of her. What she wanted to convey to me was the idea that what she said is absolutely right and I need to follow her completely. She commented on my wrong way to serve customers. We often hear that there is no such a source of error as absolute truth. Of course, judging from the satisfaction shed from the eyes of every customer I served, I began to point out the good point of my way as compared to the one she forced me to follow. Her face flushed like a burning kettle of hot water when she heard I said that. Apparently , she was extremely angry. Much to my surprise, she went to tell everyone and the boss that I disrespected her probably in an attempt to make me take abuse from them. At last, as she expected, I was unjustly neglected. What a fool! Did her teacher every teach her what is called debate and how to respect the subordinates ? She could have talked to me directly about her opinions and I would accept if she got it right, rather than go round the what she believed the fact that I disrespected her. Such act is hateful because it is like to heavily hurt someone's back with a blade. Why? Basically, she just wanted me to suffer the consequence of challenging her and , more importantly, made herself happy. What a low-level and shameful creature with low IQ, empty life and cheap quality of being a person!
We can hold own idea or just be ourselves when disagreeing others' but that should be on the basis of respecting others and not violating others. After all, don't we ask the same request for being respected when our views are disagreed by others?
We all pursue a happy and pleasant life. But what is a happy and pleasure life? and how do we go for it? The answer is with your heart. With heart, we can truly enjoy our a happy and pleasant life. Because there is a absolute mutual relationship among people, like a ball will rebound back from the wall to you with the same strength as you use to throw it at the wall. To respect others is to respect yourself.

Recently I compiled a formidable list of my resolution about my study schedule to be carried out in New Year. Without a real schedule to constrain myself, the self-discipline required even to drag me out of bed one day in the morning early for reading is considerable,let alone to persist it for a certain period of time. Unlike usual, this time I carried it out assiduously .
I have to work hard in order to struggle in the society full of fierce competitions, I said to myself whenever my motivation dies away by the influence of the assorted sorts of entertainments around me. But this time there had no effect to me since industry lifted me above temptation.
Diligence is the mother of Opportunity,its opposite ,idleness,can hardly bring a man to the goals of any of his best wish. And also opportunity only comes to those who work and wish.

Recently some rare severe weather whipped across my region, causing low temperature and
the usually-clear blue sky covered with endless dark cloud. To make matters
worse, unexpectedly occasional heavy rains appeared. Although I never take
seriously the good reputation of the coastal city's spring-like weather
throughout the four seasons, I do enjoy its sunshine days of no rain. After
all, who likes raining?
It seems that the bad weather that suddenly appeared these two weeks
indicated a prelude of an unforeseen series of catastrophes from the job I got
almost one month ago working as a cashier in a distant city. From the very
beginning I did not regard earning money as the main concern for getting this
job at all, what I actually wanted is nothing but to gain working experience
under a working environment.
To strike, to seek, not to yield.
Well, as a new guy there, I did accept any criticism from my trainers
whenever I did thing wrong and not follow the right direction they demanded.
The sad truth is that it is too easy to blame the freshman when something does
go wrong despite the fact that even he did his best to meet their steep
requirement. On the first training day, a girl with a black glass came over to
me and cheerfully announced that she would be my trainer in the next few weeks.
Of course, I listened to her instruction with great care and I was quick to
learn. Not for very long, I memorized almost every important points she taught
me, like which buttons on the machine correspond to the designated orders, what
price of some particular orders are and so forth. The only thing left seemed
only to practice. “Ok, it was time to do practice.” I said to the trainer
confidently. As I expected, permission was granted and the girl accompanied me
to the front desk. She added that she would stay beside me to watch if I did
things right so as to make necessary corrections.

After several times of try , I finally got a part-time job as a cashier in a city about 5 miles from where my college is located, which means ,unfortunately,I have to take a bus everyday to get to work.
As a new guy, making acquaintance of my would-be coworkers is the job one. There are four people including our boss in the store. The first day for me is to get training and know how to use the cashing machine. well, I think that should be not a big deal, since I am proud of the fact that I am an college student ,with a strong academic background. Before I got this job,I am always convinced myself that I am fully capable and competent even without any attending try. When the girl came to me and was about to teach me, much to my surprise,I found that she talked particularly fast with her tongue moving like a fan. Oh , my god, what the hell matters with her? Does she look down on the newcomers with her one year already experience working here and deliberately choose the way to teach people who know nothing about cashier in order to bring her the satisfaction of scorning?
I began to argue .

puma are cat-like animal ,which are found in America.When the report came from London zoo that a wild puma has been spotted 20 mile south of London. They were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence became to accumulate ,experts from the zoo felt oblige to investigate, for the description given by the people who claimed to have seen the puma was extraordinarily similar.The search went on in a small village where an old woman picking blackberry saw a puma a few yard away. It immediately ran away when she saw it. Now the experts confirmed that the puma would not attack human being unless it was cornered.The search prove difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning but at another place 20 miles away in the evening.
Paw prints were found in numbers of places and puma fur was found clinging to bush.Whenever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animal like rabbits.Many people complained of cat-like noise in the evening and a business on a fishing trip saw a puma up a tree.Now the experts were fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from? As no puma is reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for months ,but the puma was not caught. It is still disturbing to think that the wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.

These days the giant company in electronic
products, Sony, which once launched the PS3 one year ago may be in a dilemma
.According to the announcement made by Microsoft authority from levelup.cn , the
glorious game Halo 3 enjoyed 1.5 million circulation overnight and broke a new
record in TV game sold in the United States, surpassing its predecessor Halo 2,
which is released in 2004. As a fancier of PS family, with the possession of a
PS2, personally ,I am in favor of Sony's triumph over Microsoft in gaming
industry. But the current situation is quite obvious to show that Sony is not
standing on a luminous peak as it did in the past when the PS2 mainly occupied
the game market.
This semester I am taking economic class, and having
got some basic knowledge of how the market is regulated and operated, I want to
make a superficial analysis on the ongoing gaming market, after all, I was
really a fan of game once upon a time.Ha....
In retrospect, Sony obtained
an unprecedented success in game market,with 70 percent market share of PS2. At
that time , as far as I know,almost all the famous companies ,like Capcom,
Square Enix,and Konami , unanimously chose PS2 as the platform for the games in
their main list, like Devil May Cry, Biohazard, Final Fantasy and so on.
However, as we often say, success in one round doesn't guarantee a success in
the next,since gaming is a cyclical business.Sony is facing many
challenges.
For one thing,Microsoft took the step in advance to launch the
Xbox360, far ahead the PS3. And Microsoft draw the experience from the failure
of the Xbox, making it start attaching great importance to the Japanese
market.(But no matter how great its effort was, Japanese seemed to immune the
foreign products in their own land partly because of the confidence toward their
domestic products.) And Xbox360 wonderfully succeed in the north America,at
least better than Xbox.
For another,Sony is losing money on each PS3 sold.
As we know, PS3 is a highly-advanced machine combined with not only the function
to play game but also its blue-ray drive to watch HD TV, which costs 500
dollars( I am not sure). We know the basic idea that consoles' market share is
the main determinant for success in game market for console-making companies.If
the price is set too high for customers to afford,the market share will
undoubtedly small.So, in order to attract buyers,Sony has to mend its hole with
the money in its own pocket.In fact, it is the same as Xbox360, but the
difference is Microsoft,owned by the wealthiest person in the world,Bill
Gates,has countless money to throw......... Can Sony compare with Microsoft in
term of the amount of money?
Last but not the least,less attractive games is
another weakness.At this early stage, it is really not so many great games
available, since the game-making companies are putting their energy into
exploring the new console.As for me, now there is no games that can catch my
attention other than the Devil May Cry 4 to be released within this year.In
contrast, PS3's another rival ,Wii, successfully took hold of my attention with
its exclusive games, like Mario , Saerda and so on. Actually,I played Wii
during a visit to my friend's house.Although at first it is not comfortable to
hold the controller vertically, it is easy to get used to. I experienced
Biohazard 4 on Wii, oh,... the way to control Leon is kinda different from that
on PS2,giving me more excitement.With the innovation in controller and the
lowest price among the three main consoles,wii is sure to take back a great
number of the customers who once worshiped PS2 and scarped gamecube.
Judging the current situation, I think PS3 will not be able to keep the share as
PS2 did in the past, but the question is how much the loss will be.
Now, I
don't have intention of buying any new consoles,since my enthusiasm to play game
has been faded gradually, and no money.....
The only one I want to play is
Super Robot War OGs gaiden, after I clear it, my PS2 can be on the
ground.....ha...ha...

I don't know what the title recalls you of, a haunting movie from Hollywood?
Perhaps. But ,for me,Core Crisis ,which itself carries a great and significant
meaning in retrospect for the series, conjures me up an unforgettable period of
memory in the past .Square Enix ,its maker,really did a good job in gathering
our players' attention,because it chose to release Core Crisis at the
celebration of 10th anniversary for Final Fantasy 7. To those who like RPG game,
they must more or less know something about Final Fantasy 7, with its beautiful
graph and moving plot stirring up the whole game industry at that time. 10years,
it has been 10years, looking at those exuberant trees outside in the tiny yard,
I remember my golden years playing this game, it was in my middle school.Oh,
like some Japanese players screaming with excitement on the streets of Tokyo on
the release day,I , thought with no possession of a PSP ,could not help making a
shout also.....aaaaa.......
